"Today, I rest in the small pause."

Daily Sankalp · Spiritual Growth · Beginner
The Sankalp

Between in-breath and out-breath, I let the small pause be a resting place.

Why This Matters

Patanjali names the natural pauses of the breath as a doorway. The gap between in-breath and out-breath is already there. Noticing it turns it from a skipped moment into a short rest.

How to Live This Today
  1. Sit for a minute. Watch the breath.
  2. Find the small pause at the top of the in-breath.
  3. Rest there. Do not lengthen it.
  4. Find the pause at the bottom of the out-breath. Rest there too.
Benefits
  • Built-in rest inside the day
